The photo was most likely taken from the outside of the fence, as evidenced by the smaller picket fence in the foreground

it would be as easy as putting a slider to reduce damage taken/increase damage inflicted

That would compromise the dev's vision.

Celeste is about overcoming your personal struggle. Dark souls is about overcoming (or failing to overcome) the struggle forced on you by an uncaring world.

Nobody's ever said it would be impossible, mechanically, to add an easy mode. The problem is that it flies in the face of the message of the game.

Of course, I've no clue how this slider would interact with multiplayer - an entire part of the game that people tend to forget in conversations like this.

Granted, but I'd argue that dark souls and Elden ring, the typical subjects of this debate, are exactly that. There's no way to add an easy mode without compromising the dev's vision. And based on fromsoft's reticence to add an easy mode, I think they agree.

"federation" and "decentralization" are the new hotness in social networks,

Are they? I think it only seems like that from inside the fediverse. As far as blue sky goes I think the new hotness is just getting the hell away from anything to do with elon

Presumably the fence runs between their property so they have to see it every day. Also those exposed nails could be hazardous to pets or children.

It's also pretty trivial to cut the boards to length and use appropriate fasteners. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I suspect this kind of carelessness is present in other parts of the neighbor's life. They've probably gotten on OP's nerves before.

I see where you're coming from, but when a game's message is that meaning and purpose is born through hard work and struggling against impossible odds then that message is kinda undercut by a button that turns the struggle off, even if it's there for a good reason.

It's also not, like, unattainable

But it's definitely well beyond what any hobbyist is going to set up in a whim

Presently? Hardly at all. It is interesting that a private Corp is even seriously playing with building a decentralized platform, I guess.

The files are out there to host your own server but from the short look I took it's pretty involved. Most people with the knowledge and interest to host their own twitter-like server have probably already started a mastodon instance.

Corruption, poor education, overpowered oil/gas lobby, for-profit prison system that encourages recidivism

And that's just scratching the surface

Oh, good.

Can't wait to see what dirtbag the GOP finds to replace him

Not as far as I know, but they make America's political division between the sexes look relatively sane by comparison

Just piss on rep. Mace's desk instead. Problem solved.
